Beam Me Up.

I have no idea how I missed this last week, but I can't let it pass unnoticed. USA Today reported that the Air Force paid $25,000 to one Eric W. Davis of Warp Drive Metrics in Las Vegas for a study of various forms of teleportation. And it got its money's worth, too. If you don't believe me, check out the full report--Star Trek references and all--on the Federation of American Scientists Web site. The report recommends the Air Force spend another $7.5 million to conduct psychic teleportation experiments, but the service says that for now, it's done throwing money at this little concept. Meanwhile, the folks at NASA throw cold water all over the whole idea. Naysayers.
